641: Extractive
Barack Obama, Torture and Extraordinary Interrogation
The hosts deconstruct a clip of President Obama discussing the CIA's past use of torture. They focus on his use of the word "some" when referring to banning extraordinary interrogation techniques and his warning not to be "too sanctimonious." They argue these semantic choices imply that some forms of torture may continue.
